Paternal and protective with Harlow,
Sinewy and sensuous with Crawford,
He had the means to make a woman glow
With that singular talent he offered.
His suaveness and strength are stuff of legend –
His hands could swiftly steady any storm
Troubling her whether real or imagined –
He would protect her, keep her safe and warm.
Those were days of black and white, to be sure,
But just press these buttons – you’ll activate
Each tone and tint you need to reassure
Me, make the past and present separate.
Yes, should you any time feel unable
All you need to do is think like Gable.
Love
the old black and whites ....on a side note, I once read that kissing Gable was not something desirable as they say he had bad breath ...lol
Ahhhhh
Probably too much steak and onions.
Crawford more or less said he was a bit overrated, but yet she also spoke of him reverently, and they always wound up in bed together for the duration of their lives.
